Nikos, you got that right, I'm a Philly/South Jerz guy all my life and thought the grass was greener on the other side, but it's really not. When your roots run deep at home and you leave all your friends and family, so I could surf more it just wasn't worth it in the long run. Owning properties in NJ and then renting in Cali just doesn't make sense financially. Plus I lost my best friend of 30+ years in July and I haven't been the same since. My better half works for the government and in her position they're hiring in multiple areas throughout NJ & PA, so we're hoping the transfer comes soon. Then you'll be able to see the whip in person!

wow pretty tight squeeze there huh, Cars looking great still!! cant wait to hear that blower cam in there

My bad, that pic was before the fuel rail was shaved. Got the OD mounted up properly & then we set the belt on right and marked the fuel rail, then shaved it back about 3mm. I know I have pics of the process, just need to find them. I'm looking forward to hearing that cam also....as they say in poker, I'm all in now.

Hi John,
I wanted to extend a very Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. I hope you are with your extended family as well. Please know I said a prayer for Tim today. I trust things are moving along---slowly I expect, but the loss of him will become somewhat easier with time.
You have been in our prayers all along.....Please lean on Him. He wants your burdens.

Take care and please keep in touch my friend....

Kurt and Kathy....ABL99....

Kurt, I cannot thank you enough for all the personal support you have given me over the past 4 months in dealing with my losses, another friend passed this week from cancer, so that's now 3 good men under the age of 50 lost. The friend this week, Mike had been battling cancer for almost 3 years, and at one point we thought he had it beat. Three months ago he had to do another surgery and round of chemo. He, as I also skateboard & surf as hobbies, so we held an online fundraiser for him on a skateboard forum and raised nearly $10,000 for him to help pay the bills, of which, I raised over $3,000 myself by donating some personal surfboards & skateboards......As I've told you in our previous conversations, I'm a firm believer in karma, but man I keep asking myself when will things turn around?!?!!!??? I guess I can consider myself lucky when the storm hit back east, and so many people lost everything, my properties escaped with minimal damage of a flooded garage at the shore house. Merry, Tim's girlfriend, rented the apartment next door, but unfortunately it's on the ground floor so she had 2' of water in there and lost everything, again! So after I got everything cleaned up at my place, I invited her to stay there to help ease the pressure of my friend & her landlord of getting the place fixed ASAP. I know Tim would be smiling down knowing she's taken care of.

I guess I should probably stick to car stuff here, but I wanted to publicly thank you again for ALWAYS being there for me in these past 4 months of turmoil, and I hope your and your family have a fantastic Thanksgiving! & Holiday season

Thanks Pierre, I'd wish you the same but it doesn't apply in this case right? There were no pilgrims & indians in Lebanon

And even though we've never met, both you & Kurt have always been here supporting my thread from day 1 and I'm thankful for that today!

It'll be a secret for now , but they're lightweight & 20" with Nitto NT05's on them. They're also similar to the Kilis since I dig that style. Glad we're getting this done now, because on 12/10 SSYNSTR goes to Cunningham Motorsports to get cammed, ID Injectors, RX Monster Catch Can & tuned by one of the best!

Bro, Like I always say, Happy wife, happy life......But thank God she has no idea what I do to the car! The other day we went for a ride and she says "what is that NOISE!!!" Meaning the whine of the OD Cog drive, and I try to explain it to no avail, so I said it's either listen to that sweet engine scream or this, and crank up the music on the hip hop channel (which she hates!!). I punched the pedal going down the street and the horror in her face was priceless

New shoes/rubber, cam, etc and there's another $10K into the car Where it goes I don't know? God only what I could've bought if I added everything up
